"October 1st: Moon Viewing Day♡ A List of Things to Do on the Day of the Beautiful Full Moon"

Today is the Moon Viewing Day ♡

It seems that the date of "Moon Viewing Day" changes every year, but in 2020, October 1st is the day when you can see the full moon, which is in other words, Moon Viewing Day＊

Even though it may not be a special anniversary or an important day for us, I want to enjoy the changing seasons and events as much as possible while sensing the beauty of each season and living life to the fullest...

Don't you think so? ♡

I thought so too, but when I wondered what I should actually do for Moon Viewing, I found lots of ideas from stylish people on social media＊

I thought they were wonderful, so I would like to share some of them ♩

Things I Want to Do at Home for Moon Viewing Day

【1】

When we think of Moon Viewing, it has to be dumplings.

I usually shop at cake shops in the station building, but I've never been to the Japanese sweet shop, so today I think I will take a look at it ♡

【2】

Speaking of Moon Viewing, the motif is the rabbit.

It seems there are many rabbit-shaped sweets available.

【3】

As a modern twist on Moon Viewing dumplings, it seems to be popular to make bite-sized donuts and stack them up like this.

(I’m thinking of trying that with Mister Donut's lollipop donuts...)

The Miffy picks are too cute ♡

【4】

An established idea is to decorate with a yellow chrysanthemum to resemble a round full moon.

It does look like the moon!

(I hear the full moon isn't today but tomorrow, October 2nd＊)

【5】

Another decoration I want is pampas grass.

I’m subscribed to the flower delivery service "Hana no Hi" by Hibiya Kadan (where you receive one flower daily for 1187 yen), and I thought maybe I’ll choose pampas grass for today’s flower.

【6】

Also, I want some food that feels like Moon Viewing.

There seems to be a popular menu that represents the mid-autumn full moon using "egg yolk."

Even if I’m busy at work and come home with no time, just adding an egg to udon should be doable even when I'm tired.

The Habit of Appreciating the Moon＊

I admire the lifestyle of living with nature, feeling the change of seasons, and expressing that in words!

While it may not be easy to have a "deliberate lifestyle" right away, I want to feel relaxed by purchasing small items or sweets, and today I think I will go home ♡
